What ride at a Disney park would you absolutely not go on no matter how many friends begged you to go with them? Maliboomer at DCA. Did it once and that was more than enough. I like these questions. Let's go again.

Okay if it were a dream and it could all work out with no problems, I'd like to have big cat like a lion or a tiger to snuggle with. LOL. I have also always thought it would be cool to have a chimp. And an elephant and a giraffe in the backyard. 3. What ride at a Disney park would you absolutely not go on no matter how many friends begged you to go with them? Ditto! Maliboomer. Well, I could probably be talked into it ONCE but it would take a LOT of talking. LOL. I like these questions too. 1. Do you have a morning routine and, if so, what is it? 2. Do you have an evening routine and, if so, what is it? 3. What do you do to relax?
Originally Posted By tapdancemom 1. Do you have a morning routine and, if so, what is it? Let's see, coffee is a must. Breakfast is good too, a shower, hair and makeup and bible reading. Check email and LP too. 2. Do you have an evening routine and, if so, what is it? More LP and email. 3. What do you do to relax? I like to watch tv, play with grandson, hang out with hubby. These questions one more time, not awake enough to come up with clever new ones right now.
Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter 1. Do you have a morning routine and, if so, what is it? Aside from the typical getting ready stuff (hair, makeup, etc.), the only thing I *always* do first thing in the morning is check e-mail. 2. Do you have an evening routine and, if so, what is it? Again, no actual routine, but I do spend part of most evenings online. I also read most evenings. 3. What do you do to relax? Read, read, read! My favorite relaxing spots for reading are in a bubble bath or, weather permitting, out in the hammock under our huge oak tree. ************************************ 1. What was the last thing that made you laugh really hard? 2. What's your most vivid memory from kindergarten? 3. Escargot: a delicacy or food of the devil?
Originally Posted By markedward 1. What was the last thing that made you laugh really hard? <That's ok, I'm going to commit suicide by accident. Oops!> sherrytodd's cause of death in the How Will You Die thread. 2. What's your most vivid memory from kindergarten? Using a clothespin with my name on it to mark which center I was going to - such a world of choices! 3. Escargot: a delicacy or food of the devil? Escargot: an excuse to eat butter and garlic. I ate it on prom night, and that was my date's comment. It just tasted like garlic and butter. If you could fix one thing at Disneyland, what would it be? And no DCA or Toon Town - they get too much grief already. A night in Cinderella's Castle? Dinner at Club 33? Dancing the night away with Mickey and Minnie? Enhanced Fastpass for a year? If you could choose a (not outrageous) Disney Dream, what would it be? Which chess piece are you, and why?

Anyway, here are my questios again, this time with numbers! Yay! 1. If you could fix one thing at Disneyland, what would it be? And no DCA or Toon Town - they get too much grief already. 2. A night in Cinderella's Castle? Dinner at Club 33? Dancing the night away with Mickey and Minnie? Enhanced Fastpass for a year?

Originally Posted By Deogges Mom 1. If you could fix one thing at Disneyland, what would it be? And no DCA or Toon Town - they get too much grief already. Adventureland. I'm not sure how I would fix it, but more room is needed in that area. I'd move Bengal Barbeque to Big Thunder Ranch. Same menu items, just change the names. The planter in the middle of the pathway would be gone. I would reconfigure the entrance to Tarzan's Treehouse so that it's not in the middle of the path. Fast Pass for Indiana Jones would be gone, creating a shaded area to sit and get out of the way. 2. A night in Cinderella's Castle? Dinner at Club 33? Dancing the night away with Mickey and Minnie? Enhanced Fastpass for a year? If you could choose a (not outrageous) Disney Dream, what would it be? A Disney Cruise 3. Which chess piece are you, and why? The queen because I am the power in my own small domain.

Originally Posted By tapdancemom 1. If you could add a land either to one of the Magic Kingdoms and call it Yesterland, what attractions would you bring back? (C'mon, tell us why, too!) I loved the Skyway, a birds eye view of Disneyland, very nice. I'd also bring back the Tahitian Terrace, dinner and a show! Finally the Mickey Mouse Club island with the Original Mouseketeers performing, how's that for a fantasy. 2. What are your views (high-level treatment) of home schooling? I think it can be the right choice for some people. I have a lovely young woman who teaches at my studio that was home schooled exclusively. She and her brothers had outside activities and church where they interacted with other kids and all three have turned out very well. She went on to take college courses and is an accomplished young lady. While I don't think it's right for everyone it can certainly work. 3. Coffee, tea, or milk? COFFEE!!! ------------------- 1. Construct the perfect ice cream sunae. 2. As a 5 yr. old, gradeschooler and highschooler what did you want to be when you grew up? How close did you come? 3. Which Disney character are you most like?
Originally Posted By markedward 1. Construct the perfect ice cream sunae. Great suggestion. That was delicious! 2. As a 5 yr. old, gradeschooler and highschooler what did you want to be when you grew up? How close did you come? 5 - a cowboy gradeschool - Mr. Haste my 5th grade homeroom and social studies teacher high school - Dr. Miller my 11th and 12th grade English teacher How close did I come? Not even close. I like teachers. I hate teaching. I did get to dress like a cowboy while teaching kids at a living history Oregon Trail place 3. Which Disney character are you most like? Donald Duck - I have an overdeveloped sense of being put upon, especially by three very active boys --- You've just been asked to design the third domestic Magic Kingdom park. 1. What is the most important thing lacking at the two existing parks that you would bring to the new one? 2. What major, popular e ticket attraction would you leave out because you just don't care for it? Why? 3. Whose castle would be in your park? Why?

Yes but I am in no way a big spender. I am the type the could play nickel slots on $20.00 for hours by betting one credit and be happy. 3) What is you most treasured Disney thing? Hard to decide but it would be Mickey and Minnie Bride/Groom figurine from our honeymoon, photo scrapbook albums, look on my childs face when we entered MK for his first time.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Well, I missed these questions the first time around so hoping markedward will forgive me I'll use yours WDWBoundAgain. 1) Have you ever owed someone money and it just killed you. I assume you mean besides credit card companies. LOL. Well, because I think that it would bother me to owe someone money, I've never borrowed money from a friend. Not that I haven't been totally broke before, its just that I wouldn't want that awkwardness between us. Maybe I'm too foolish or too proud or both but I would rather pay interest to some company than have a money issue with a friend. 2) Do you like to gamble in casinos? I'm too much of a cheapskate to gamble really but I do love to watch! lol. When I go to Las Vegas I'll get like $40 and just play the slot machines until that gone or I get bored or I just make such a good "profit" I have to stop. 3) What is you most treasured Disney thing? VERY Tough question! I would have to say it is the Golden Mickey Ears I got from Deogge's Mom in last year's bash. Just knowing someone thought of me enough to actually go through the time and trouble to send me a gift like that was really special to me. I mean from the *actual* day!!! It's just so cool! (Thank you again, Lisa. )

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter (Oh, the pressure. These questions have been sitting there for nearly a month. That would mean, in theory anyway, that I should have some really well-crafted, insightful, thought provoking answers. Yeah, don't hold your breath on that). 1) What book left the biggest impression on you as a child? It's very hard to choose just one. I have always been a voracious reader. Hm. I guess it would be Little Women. I read it dozens of times as a young girl, and I still reread it every few years. There are a lot of good life lessons in that one book, and it's wonderfully entertaining as well. 2) What was your favorite subject in high school and why? Theatre. I was pretty shy as a kid and teenager, but I was incredibly passionate about live theatre. I was onstage in several productions every year from high school through college and then into community theatre up until I got married. Acting is magical to me. 3) What is one of your favorite family traditions and why? Gosh, again, there are just too many to choose from. One of my favorites is the entire Christmas tree process. We always get a live tree. All four of us make the trek to a tree farm or sometimes just to a fresh tree lot here in town. We roam around trying to look at every tree and then finally choose one as a family. Decorating it is always a whole family project as well. It takes us forever, because we reminisce over almost every ornament as we take it out of the box and hang it on the tree. . .how and where we got it, who made the handmade ones, etc. It's always just a great family evening. I love these questions! Let's do them again.

The "purer" (i.e., more abstract, less practical) the better. 3) What is one of your favorite family traditions and why? At Thanksgiving, we go around the table and each person talks about one thing they're thankful for. ----- 1. Have you ever run for public office? (I think that's "stood" for office in Englandish.) 2. When was the last time you voted in an election? 3. Who is the first head of government (President, Prime Minister, etc.) you can remember hearing/seeing on the radio/television/newsreel?
Originally Posted By markedward 1. Have you ever run for public office? (I think that's "stood" for office in Englandish.) Successfully ran for student council in 8th grade, and unsuccessfully for dorm council in 12th. 2. When was the last time you voted in an election? About 9 am Tuesday. 3. Who is the first head of government (President, Prime Minister, etc.) you can remember hearing/seeing on the radio/television/newsreel? This is the reason I wanted to answer: I can remember being very confused listening to the radio news because all of a sudden there was this guy, "General" Ford who was vice president, and then he was president. So was he a general, a vice president, or a president? That really confused me as a seven year old. By the way, much later I figured out it was "Gerald" Ford, not "General" Ford.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy <Successfully ran for student council in 8th grade, and unsuccessfully for dorm council in 12th.> Then you could identify with the season premiere of "The Facts of Life" season 3 (which was just released on DVD, and viewed this weekend by Yours Truly). Tootie was dorm monitor on campus and she was just 13. Now back to the topic... 1. Have you ever been referenced in a newspaper article? Yeah, for some show choir stuff in high school, and our aunts' wedding "reviews" (I was the ring bearer, and I **HATED** it with a passion---and all during those years I thought it was the "ring bear", and it didn't make sense to me). And there's some article about my grandparents' building of their new house (I think) that my sister and I just discovered in our aunt Joy's scrapbook last Thanksgiving, and it's kinda surreal because in the article my sister is almost 4, but I'm still in the womb---but I'm still referenced! lol I'm "the upcoming grandchild" or whatever it said, and it was wicked cool to read that. 2. What was the first album you owned? And what was it's format - vinyl, cd, cassette, 8 track? Well if we're talkin' went out and bought yourself, the earliest one I can really remember is getting Lorrie Morgan's 1994 album "War Paint" on cassette in Lexington. 3. What character, preferably Disney, do you do an impression of, good or otherwise? Disney, hmmm...Robin Hood as the fortune teller...wow, that's about it. I used to do Mickey Mouse but haven't tried him much lately, and a bit of Goofy, although I defer to knightnfrees on that one. Not too many Disney ones, though I've heard I can do some mean Muppets, and do love doin' those (faves to do are Kermit, Piggy, Janice, Sam Eagle, Statler, Count Von Count, Ernie, Boober Fraggle, Uncle Travelling Matt, Sprocket, and Junior Gorg).
Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy 1. If any Disney films were Broadway plays and there was no audition competition, what role/s would you love to play? 2. Do you remember your first exposure to Muppets? (commercials, Sam & Friends, Sesame Street, Muppet Show, fraggles, etc.) 3. When did you learn there are white pumpkins? (bonus: can you tell me if they are natural, "albino", or hybridly grown or specialized, or what?)
